The ''' | The '''Grub-Dog family''' ({{j|イヌムシ科|Inu Mushi Ka|bug dog family}}) contains "true" bulborbs, as well as several other species in the {{pg}}. The most well-known member of this family is the [[Bulborb]] (or Red Bulborb in {{p2}}, Spotty Bulborb in {{p1}}). | ||
[[Bulborb (disambiguation)|Bulborb]]s, [[ | [[Bulborb (disambiguation)|Bulborb]]s, [[Bulbear]]s, [[Bulblax]]es, and [[Eye-Stalker Bulbeel|Bulbeels]] are all part of the ''Oculus'' genus. All "true" bulborbs belong to the ''Oculus kageyamii'' species, while bulbears belong to the ''Oculus terribilis'' species. There are still different subspecies for these creatures, unlike bulblaxes and bulbeels. [[Water Dumple]]s and [[Long Water Dumple]]s are part of the ''Ichthyosa'' genus, as they are much different than the creatures listed previously. [[Fiery Dwarf Bulblax]]es belong to the [[Breadbug family]], despite [[mistake]]nly having the ''Oculus'' genus. | ||
This mistake may have been made because in the games, it was previously believed that [[Dwarf Bulborb]]s were undeveloped bulborbs, but it was later discovered that they are a species of their own and actually belong to the breadbug family. | This mistake may have been made because in the games, it was previously believed that [[Dwarf Bulborb]]s were undeveloped bulborbs, but it was later discovered that they are a species of their own and actually belong to the breadbug family. | ||

In ''Pikmin'', the spots on the backs of grub-dogs pulsate in size, even when the game is paused, but since Dwarf Bulborbs belong to the breadbug family, they do not have this characteristic. Further, the spots on Bulborbs oscillate in size slower than the spots on the other two grub-dog types. In every other ''Pikmin'' game, they stay the same size. | In ''Pikmin'', the spots on the backs of grub-dogs pulsate in size, even when the game is paused, but since Dwarf Bulborbs belong to the breadbug family, they do not have this characteristic.

The most notable characteristic of this particular subspecies is a plume of fluffy white hair on the creature's back, which insulates its body as an adaption to a colder habitat, and it falls off in battle. | Hairy Bulborbs are enemies exclusive to ''Pikmin 2''.

They are most commonly found in the water, but can survive on the land as well. Depending on the game, they are either colored blue or purple, and resemble shellfish with large mouths. Water Dumples are defeated somewhat easily as long as the player takes caution or [[swarm]]s them. | ||

"Grub-dog" is a combination of {{w|grub}}, | "Grub-dog" is a combination of {{w|grub}}, the name of the larvae from several beetle families, and {{w|dog}}. According to the [[Pikmin Garden]] website, this is due to their resemblance to space dogs. Moreover, the word "Bulborb" is derived from the name of [[Captain Olimar]]'s pet space dog [[Minor characters#Bulbie|Bulbie]]. Most members of this family have the word "Bulborb" in their name, which is likely a combination of "bulb" and "orb", referring to their large, round eyes and bulbous body. The Japanese popular name for "Bulborb" is {{j|チャッピー|Chappī|Chappy|f=tp}} and the Japanese name is {{j|デメマダラ|Deme Madara}} which, according to the {{ssbb}} trophy for the [[Bulborb]] translates to "Spotted Bug-eye".{{cite quote|{{Notes:Bulborb/ssbb}}|[[Bulborb]] trophy|{{ssbb}}}} | ||
The genus most Bulborbs belong to is ''Oculus'', which is Latin for "eye", and the species name of most of them is ''kageyamii'', which is most likely taken from Daisuke Kageyama, one of the developers credited for creature design. | The genus most Bulborbs belong to is ''Oculus'', which is Latin for "eye", and the species name of most of them is ''kageyamii'', which is most likely taken from Daisuke Kageyama, one of the developers credited for creature design. | ||
